30 Days of Creativity Challenge - Day 15 - Let's Party Halloween Invitation!

Thanks to everyone for keeping my mom in your prayers.  Her Pacemaker surgery went just perfectly.  Praise the Lord!  I arrived back home later yesterday and today I am ready to get back into the 30 Days of Creativity Challenge swing of things.

Let's Party Invitation

How many of you out there have Halloween Parties?  Well, here is the perfect solution for you!  The Let's Party! Halloween Invitation was super easy and fast to create.  I created it using the Cricut Expression, the Mini Monster Cricut Cartridge, the Feelin' Groovy Cricut Cartridge and the Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge.  You can't see the inside because my camera was acting up, but the inside has the For, Date, Time, Place and Rsvp on the inside so you can just fill in your information.

30 Days of Creativity Challenge - Day 11 - Candy Corn Bark Recipe Layout

One of my favorite parts of Halloween is the Candy Corn!  My whole family just loves it!  I thought that it would be fun to be able to eat it in a different kind of way....Thus the Candy Corn Bark!  This layout is created using the Cricut Expression, the Mini Monsters Cricut Cartridge and the Cuttin' Up Cricut Cartridge.

I use the Oreos that have the Orange colored creme to make this candy.  Have fun making it and enjoy!

30 Days Of Creativity Challenge - Day 10 - Kitty Litter Cake Recipe Layout!

I was trying to think of some creative and kind of off the wall desserts for this upcoming Halloween Season and nothing could be more off the wall than Kitty Litter Cake! 

Warning:  This is not the cake to make for the person with a weak stomache as it look like a well used Kitty Litter Box when completed.  Little boys in particular tend to think it is cool to eat and believe it or not, it actually tastes great is you can get over the look of it!  Just imagine your guests eye popping out of their head as you go to serve it.  A true Halloween Trick!

I used the Cricut Expression, the Mini Monsters Cricut Cartridge, the Cuttin' Up Cricut Cartridge and the Walk In My Garden Cricut Cartridge to create this layout as well as a paper trimmer.  The cardstocks are from Prism, American Craft and KI Memories(Haunted)  I used my favorite glue,Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Adhesive, to adhere it all together!

The back side of the Recipe.

Ingredients: 

1 spice or German chocolate cake mix

1 white cake mix

2 large packages vanilla instant pudding mix, prepared

1 large package vanilla sandwich cookies

12 small Tootsie Roll candies

Green food coloring

1 new kitty litter pan washed

1 new kitty litter pan line

1 new pooper scooper

Instructions:

1. Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans).

2. Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble.

3. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix until completely colored.

4. When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the

5. chilled pudding. Important: mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don't want it too soggy. Combine gently.

6. Line a new, WASHED kitty litter box. Put the cake/pudding/cookie mixture into the litter box.

7. Put 3 unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls bury them in the mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly on top of everything -- this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.

8. Heat 3 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top. For the final touch, take one Tootsie Roll and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around for a truly disgusting effect!

9. This is clever Halloween cake recipe, that frightfully resembles a well used kitty litter box, is actually delicious, despite its appearance. For the proper presentation, use a brand new (and definitely unused) plastic cat litter box and spoon it onto plates with a new (NEVER used) pooper scooper. Little boys tend to think that this is a pretty cool cake!

30 Day of Creativity Challenge - Day 7 - Goblin Treats Recipe Layout

This is one of the best and yummiest little treats around.  Great for bringing to a party as well as just snacking on at home.  My whole family loves to make and eat these and not just during the Halloween Season.  :-)  To create this layout I used the Cricut Expression, the Mini Monsters Cricut Cartridge and the Happy Hauntings Cricut Cartridge.

30 Days of Creativity Challenge - Day 5 - "Beware" Candy Bucket

I am having so much fun everyday creating something else for the 30 Days of Creativity Challenge.  Remember, you can join in at any point during the challenge and that the day that you start is your Day 1.  So I may be on Day 5 but you may just be starting out at Day 1.  Email me with any questions!

Today is my Day 5 and I created a "Beware" Candy Bucket.

So, I was trying to think of a cute gift idea for my children's teachers for this year and decided that a small candy bucket would be super cute!  I used the Cricut Expression along with the Mini Monsters Cricut Cartridge to create this adorable candy bucket.  All I need now is a bag of candy to fill it and it is ready for the Halloween season!  My kids cannot wait to bring one to their teachers.  I have one made, only 6 more to go!

This side ended up being my favorite side.  I just love this little monster!

This little monsters teeth just crack me up.

Just imagine this on a Lost My Tooth page!

How cute would that be?

This is probably one of my most unfovorite sides but Michelle just loved it!  I wished that I had made him in purple or green.

Oh well, maybe next time.

I love how this side turned out.  This little Mummy is just too cute if you ask me.  I love the teal and green combination!

Here is the Beware on the inside.  Make sure you Beware or the little monster may bite your finger!

Here is the other end of the Monster declaring to all Trick Or Treat!
